George Antheil: The Complete Works for String Quartet [OM-1008-2]

Featuring the Del Sol String Quartet. This CD represents the first-ever complete compilation of Antheil's string quartet works, each of which was composed during a different stylistic era in Antheil's development. The result is a tour through a variety of familiar 20th- Century styles now inhabited by the ghosts of five "new" very provocative pieces that comprise a missing link in the repertoire of American 20th- Century music.

 

The physical edition is nearly sold out, but this release is still available through digital outlets such as iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, & Naxos.
